SOVEREIGN
Best selling medium-term mix!
Four to six year intensive dual purpose Grazing
Silage
Hay MEDIUM-TERM
Sovereign is designed for intensive management – alternating between cutting and grazing. This means the mix is versatile enough to suit a range of management regimes. It consistently produces high yields and excellent forage and can provide two to three cuts, followed by quality aftermath grazing. A clover blend is included to suit a wide range of grassland systems and provides the benefit of soil N fixation. This blend will also help to increase protein levels. Timothy is used as it is a palatable grass, which helps fill the summer gap and thrives on wetter soil types.
